No Longer Quivering
by Debi Pearl of No Greater Joy – Does What You Do Matter?
Editor’s note: More from Debi about not being upset or having a bad attitude about being a stay at home mother doing all the work. It’s another ad for her book. I’m in transition between houses right now in Costa Rica, but once I’m settled in Tamarindo (around 2 more weeks) we’ll resume our review of this rather boring book.
Pilgrim’s Progress came into my life when I was about 14 years old. Our public school taught classics. I chose to do Pilgrim’s Progress. I still remember the day I stood before the class of thirty teens and gave them the gospel via Pilgrim’s Progress. Almost 400 years earlier, Mrs. Bunyan honored God by faithfully doing the work God called her to do. My young life was making a difference in my classmates’ lives because she was faithful.
As I worked on my book The Hidden Help Meet, I could see God’s hand weaving a tapestry from the many lives of those who would day in and day out honor Jesus. He has a master plan. What we do matters. We have no idea just how far-reaching our faithfulness may be. I am thankful I have followed the course.
Your days may be dreary. You might have experienced extreme hardship or tragedy. You may be married to a man uninterested in God or in raising your children to honor him. But God has used simple obedience in the women of times gone by to prove to us that what we do matters. Live your life, teach your children, and honor God as if millions coming to know the living LORD depends on you, because it might.
QUOTING QUIVERFULL is a regular feature of NLQ – we present the actual words of noted Quiverfull leaders, cultural enforcers and those that seek to keep women submitted to men and ask our readers: What do you think? Agree? Disagree? This is the place to state your opinion. Please, let’s keep it respectful – but at the same time, we encourage readers to examine the ideas of Quiverfull and Spiritual Abuse honestly and thoughtfully.
